Testing

[Soldieress]

Has anyone had the Genova diagnostics Europe Microbiology and Parasitology test?

DUTCH Test? Analytical Research Hair Mineral test?

It's all very expensive and I can't do them all.

So was hoping someone has already tried it.

Any advice would be appreciated

I have had Geneva diagnostic comprehensive stool test. It showed I had 2 parasites and virtually no friendly bacteria. You have to be referred. It was well worth it for me. Am getting better now.

Are you in UK? Did you get this on NHS?

[auntyjean in reply to Maureen1958]

I am in UK. NHS doesn't do this test. I went through Kate Arnold privately.

would you recommend Kate Arnold? did she suggest which tests to have with Genova diagnostics? how does she work?

Thanks SO much

[auntyjean in reply to clover1122]

Yes. She asks the right questions. I had to have a consultation before I had the test so we did it by Skype. If you look her up you will find she is very qualified.

How did your re populate good bacteria?

Did they give you guidelines?

[auntyjean in reply to Hidden]

Yes. First probiotics 20 billion parts daily. Come off low fodmap diet which didn't work. After two months this week I started on 450 billion probiotics for one month. Also taking live yoghurt and kefir daily. I could have taken specific antibiotics for the parasites but it wasn't recommended so I have been taking Chinese medicine which seems to have worked as my energy back to normal, brain fog and memory problems gone. Bowel movements a lot better but still have to irrigate colon couple of times a week instead of every day. Pain much less.
